“…This study found the low-automation version required players to be more involved in the rule-interpretation process. A third is a study of invented custom games of Halo 2 (Cheung & Huang, 2012), an online multiplayer computer game. The study found that players develop ''honor rules'' to enforce new games that are socially sanctioned.…”

Our article examines a flexible approach to designing general game components inspired by traditional game components. Our goal is to design digital game systems that offer the players greater choice in dictating the rules, pacing, and sociability of a game session-we describe this as supporting socially negotiated gameplay. We introduce five design principles of flexibility: dispensability, live tweakability, tangibility, mobility, and value. Our work demonstrates this approach with the design of an augmented game system composed of playing cards instrumented with near field communication chips and a mobile device with three digital game components: a Card Viewer, a Score Board, and a Turn Keeper. We report on initial user sessions and articulate two emerging challenges for supporting socially negotiated play: (a) solving interaction costs to enable greater flexibility and (b) managing user expectations for the automatic part of a manual-automatic system.

Card Board is an online application for playing almost any traditional card game without restricting who can change the rules or when. Its design goal is to facilitate socially negotiated play, where the pace and the rules are determined by the players rather than the computer. In its first iteration, Card Board offers a generic simulation of a card deck where almost all actions are manual. In its second iteration, it adds intelligent components to explore the tradeoffs between manual and automatic, and to examine how they can work hand in hand. A "flexible" approach informs the design. Two sub-strategies, versatility and robustness, are introduced and discussed here. The system is described and implications for designing for the unknown are briefly addressed.

Many crowdsourcing systems have a contribution model that is shallow but massively parallel, with contributors rarely processing or iterating upon the work of others. Few systems, even those crowdsourcing creativity or artistic talent, are designed to allow deep chains where the ideas of one individual feed into and directly inspire another individual. To explore the ways in which creative ideas arise and evolve under the influence of specific artifacts created by others, we examine patterns from over 50,000 sketches created and uploaded with Sketch-a-bit, a collaborative mobile drawing application in which each sketch is directly prompted by a previous sketch. In this paper, we report results from two analyses of content created in the system's first two years of deployment. First, we apply qualitative coding to survey the range of effort and creativity in user actions (including actions ranging from unintentioned scribbles to subtly inspired reimaginations of source material through the unexpected preparation of blank canvases for others). Second, we perform an exploratory analysis of large-scale behaviors manifest in chains or trees of sketches (such as open-ended conversations and structured gameplay). The intent of this work is to describe an iterative model of collaborative creativity and to demonstrate a range of remixing behaviors that can be expected to arise in unrestricted, anonymous collaborative creativity applications.
